Intro: It took me awhile to get around to playing this map. I knew Chris had released the level when it was finished but didn't get to play until now. Guess I was saving it. By the way, as of this writing Chris is working on High/Low2, so that's something to look forward to. Anyhow I played the map in ZDoom and took the screenshots in ZDoom as well.

Comments: The level has a nice 'episode 1' theme going on and has a nice layout with interesting architecture. I did get lost at one point and couldn't figure out how to get the yellow key until I used the map and clued in to where I had to go. The ammo and health can seem a little low at times but I didn't find that to be a problem. If your looking to play a fun map that has that oldschool feel / look then this is one you should downgrab.
Author Sayeth: "I wouldn't exactly state this as a come-back wad as the quality isn't really up to par with my previous work. However, I just hope people will accept this map as a good small to medium sized episode 1 map and nothing more. While it has a distinct episode 1 feel, it doesn't follow the same strict rules as my CH Retro Episode maps. So you might just bump into a cacodemon or two."
